I use different blueprints for different stages of the game, so I categorize them based on which science packs are available at the time.
This is an easy way to unlock only those technologies available for a certain stage of the game.

To use, paste the following code into the console (don't forget to prefix it with "/c ").

Code: Select all

function acceptTechnology(technology, sciencePacks)
    for _, ingredient in pairs(technology.research_unit_ingredients) do
        local sciencePackFound = false
        for _, sciencePack in pairs(sciencePacks) do
            local sciencePackName = string.format('%s-science-pack', sciencePack)
            if(sciencePackName == ingredient.name) then
                sciencePackFound = true
            end
        end
        if(not sciencePackFound) then
            return false
        end
    end
    return true
end

function filterTechnologies(technologies, sciencePacks)
    local results = {}
    for _, technology in pairs(technologies) do
        if(acceptTechnology(technology, sciencePacks)) then
            table.insert(results, technology)
        end
    end
    return results
end

function unlockTechnologies(sciencePacks)
    local technologies = game.player.force.technologies
    local filteredTechnologies = filterTechnologies(technologies, sciencePacks)
    for _, technology in pairs(filteredTechnologies) do
        technology.researched = true
    end
end

function lockTechnologies()
    local technologies = game.player.force.technologies
    for _, technology in pairs(technologies) do
        technology.researched = false
    end
end

To unlock all technologies

Code: Select all

/c unlockTechnologies({'automation', 'logistic', 'military', 'chemical', 'production', 'utility'})

To unlock everything you would have available with automation, logistic, and chemical science.

Code: Select all

/c unlockTechnologies({'automation', 'logistic', 'chemical'})

To reset research

Code: Select all

/c lockTechnologies()
